President Obama urged young supporters of his health care law Wednesday to keep working for the law, even if it’s at times difficult and gives them a few gray hairs.

“I hope you haven’t been discouraged by how hard it’s been because stuff that’s worth it is always hard,” he told a group of 160 young adults gathered for the White House Youth Summit on the Affordable Care Act. “The Civil Rights movement was hard. Giving women the right to vote, that was hard. Making sure that workers had the right to organize, that was hard.”

“You may get a few gray hairs as a consequence, but I think at the end of the day … it’s worth it,” he later added, suggesting that the student government officers in the room consider holding events on campus to encourage young people to sign up for insurance and that the bartenders think about hosting a happy hour to spread the word.

“Do whatever it takes to make sure people have the information they need to make the decision that’s right for them” on health insurance, he said.
